took place in Fort Lauderdale, FL this past weekend and while we focus on being an OCR podcast, this event has my interest every year! Since we didn't fly down to cover it in person (someday!), we looked for an athlete to have on the show to talk about their experience. It didn't take long to pick as our potential guest as she had an incredible race weekend being the first elite to win all events, especially in an increasingly stacked field! We talk about her background in sport and fitness, coaching, how she came across hybrid racing, her history with DEKA, her plans for the world...

We met her at World's Toughest Mudder earlier this year, we liked her, and so we immediately reached out to have her back on the show! We talk about her background in OCR, what made her want to take on the endurance food challenge, details about the event including the rules...

Savage Race ! The elite side had a pretty great turn out with an increased payout at the event and when I saw that won, I knew that I wanted to have him on the show again! We first met and interviewed him after , had dinner with him in Palmerton after the 3K, and have crossed paths with him at WTM a few times and he has always seemed like a nice guy.

We have been wanting to do another episode with ever since he started carrying North American OCR and hybrid live streams on his back! We may be a bit bias because we have been friends with for many years now but we don't believe he gets half of the credit that he deserves for what he does for both sports. We discuss how he started live streaming these sports, how much money we are making/losing from this pursuit, how you can help support the live stream, his rebranded , getting ahead of burnout, a and much more! Please reach out to or to see how you can reach out and help...
info_outlineWith World's Toughest Mudder coming up soon and it being both the first time the event is taking place in Europe as well as Katelyn's first time tackling the event herself, we figured it would be a good time to both selflessly and selfishly have an episode focused on first timer questions!
Josh Fiore had been answering first timer questions on the WTM First Timer facebook group so we figured that he would be a great guest due to him being knowledgeable and has shown to take time out of his day to try to help those who are preparing to take on this ultra OCR!
Josh shares his experinces and insights about training, race preparation, and how to stay positive during all 25.5 hours of World's Toughest Mudder!
